the initial proposed solution was not regarded by the regulator ,so operations for the entire fleet were suspended

concerns were raised by the midflight failure of the computer system on 1 plane on 19 April , the pilot told the tower

fortunately the backup system worked

over a full weekend they had no flights

passengers were asked to go to the airport ticket sales office, the one at Johannesburg is not very large

2 This year I am using the Ashtons transfer service instead of flying. Umlami bush camp pays for it if you stay 3 days or more . Going back the second time I was thinking of all those SA express losses and the high cost of the fare, so I used Ashtons again

3 This is definitely cheaper and it may well be a better choice

I am due to fly to JNB in 2 weeks and then up the the Timbavati for 4 days at Kambaku River Sands . Previously I had flown into Skukuza with Airlink and found them to be a good operation. I had booked with SA Express to fly to Hoedspruit but the suspension over the weekend has led me to do some online research and I have decided to arrange for filghts with FedAir instead.
